Who won the battle of the Apple antitrust monitor?February 11, 2014: 10:28 AM ET
Appeals court ends grudge match with an ambiguous ruling.
FORTUNE -- Yesterday afternoon a federal appeals court issued a split-the-baby ruling ending the colorful grudge match between Apple (AAPL) and a federal district judge over the powers of an antitrust monitor she had appointed to oversee the company's conduct.
The ambiguous ruling gave each side plausible grounds to claim victory -- or at least to save face -- with the court permitting the monitor to resume his functions while seeming also to clip his wings a bit.
A spokesman for the government -- which had asked for the monitor and defended his actions -- said it was "pleased with the court's decision," while Apple and the monitor himself, former inspector general of the Justice Department Michael Bromwich, declined comment.

U.S. District Judge Denise Cote of Manhattan decided to impose the monitorship last September, after having ruled over the summer that the company engaged in an illegal price-fixing conspiracy when it entered the e-books market with its launch of its iBook store in 2010. She stressed that the companies' highest officials and lawyers had participated in the conspiracy, and expressed her belief in her written ruling that at least three Apple officials had lied in their testimony before her.
The terms of her order seemed to contemplate a narrow role for the monitor: He was merely to assess the adequacy of antitrust compliance and training programs that Judge Cote was simultaneously ordering Apple to devise and implement.
Evidently judging that it could live with such a monitor, Apple initially failed to seek a stay when it appealed all of Judge Cote's antitrust findings and orders in October.
But later that month, when monitor Bromwich began his work, he began seeking interviews with Apple's entire executive team and its entire board of directors. The breadth of these inquiries shocked Apple, since few of these officials had any direct involvement with antitrust compliance issues.
MORE: Google worth more than Exxon. Apple next?
In defending the monitor's far-reaching requests after Apple challenged them, Judge Cote explained in a ruling last month that the monitor was not simply supposed to assess the adequacy of the compliance program "in the abstract," but also whether it would be adequate "for Apple," given her view that Apple's culture was peculiarly recalcitrant and indifferent to the antitrust laws. Accordingly, both she and Bromwich -- with whom she had discussed the monitorship while interviewing him for the job -- believed that a permissible part of his job was to scope out Apple's "tone" and "culture." Thus, as Bromwich told astonished Apple representatives at one point, he wanted to "crawl inside [the] company."
Apple raised crescendo'ing objections to Bromwich's intrusions which culminated in claims that the monitorship, as interpreted, exceeded Judge Cote's powers under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and, indeed, violated principles of separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution. In December Apple moved to stay Bromwich's activities pending resolution of its appeal.
In yesterday's ruling a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit made no specific reference to any of Apple's laundry list of alleged transgressions. Instead, the judges apparently decided that so long as they clarified the language of Judge Cote's monitorship order -- which had included some broad wording that allowed Bromwich to demand "any document" or interview "any official" at Apple -- Apple would at least not face any "irreparable harm" of the sort that would warrant a stay pending appeal.
MORE: Look who Apple is hiring
Accordingly the panel, in a so-called per curiam decision -- one that is not signed by any one judge -- interpreted Judge Cote's order to be reined in by certain concessions made by Justice Department appellate attorney Finnuala Tessier during oral argument. It then concluded that Cote's order "should be interpreted narrowly," as simply allowing the monitor "to assess the appropriateness of the compliance programs adopted by Apple and the means used to communicate those programs to its personnel."
The issue of whether the monitor, in the course of performing those tasks, can continue to inquire into Apple's "tone" and "culture" at the top was not raised at the oral argument on Feb. 6, and it is not addressed explicitly in the panel's ruling. Yet such an interpretation would appear to cut against the grain of the ruling.
The appeals judges were very lively at the oral argument, with all three participating in the questioning and keeping government lawyer Tessier and Apple attorney Theodore Boutrous, Jr., of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, long past their allotted time limits. The panel included U.S. Circuit Judge Gerard Lynch, who is also a Columbia Law School professor; Guido Calabresi, a former Dean of Yale Law School and a towering figure in the field of tort law scholarship; and Pierre Leval, who is noted for scholarship and rulings on the "fair use" doctrine in copyright law and for having presided over the famous, 17-month Pizza Connection mob trial of 1985-87.
Apple's appeals brief on the merits -- arguing that it committed no antitrust violation -- is due to be filed on Feb. 25.

Dinner, for me, can be the most stressful part of the day. Since I am busy at work all day, it is hard to come home and make a healthy and tasty dinner. I find myself just making whatever is easiest, but not always the best for me.
Making dinner shouldn't be stressful and it should be healthy, so you don't ruin all that hard work of eating right all day. I knew the easiest and most healthy thing to make was my polenta with mushrooms. I can't believe I had forgotten about it all that time! It is the perfect solution for a healthy and delicious dinner.
One serving of this creamy dish is only 260 calories! You also get 3.2 grams of fiber and 8.7 grams of protein. To me, the best meal is one where you get fiber and protein. It also doesn't hurt when it is low in calories.
Calories per serving: 260, Fat 8.4 grams, Sodium 791 mg, Carbs 35.5 grams, Fiber 3.2 grams, Sugar 2.2 grams, Protein 8.7 grams
Prep Time: 5 minutesCook Time: 25 minutesTotal Time: 30 minutesServes 4
Ingredients2 tablespoons butter, melted1 cup uncooked quick cooking polenta3 cups water½ cup skim milk¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, additional for garnish1 cup Oyster mushrooms (about 8), halved lengthwise1 garlic clove, mincedPinch chili flakes2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar3 tablespoons seasoned breadcrumbssalt and pepperFreshly chopped parsley, for garnishCooking Spray
Instructions1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with tin foil. Lightly spray foil with cooking spray. In a bowl, toss mushrooms with garlic, chili, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of melted butter over the mushrooms. Bake for 15-20 minutes until tender and breadcrumbs are toasted. 2. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and slowly whisk in polenta. Whisk in salt and continue to whisk for 6-8 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in remaining butter and cheese. Taste and adjust salt and pepper seasonings. 3. Divide polenta between two heated bowls. Top with mushrooms and freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley. Serve immediately.

Fall Watering Aids Tree & Shrub Health
By Sarah Browning and John Fech, UNL Extension Horticulture Educators
Many homeowners haven't thought much about drought this year, however, conditions in Nebraska have ranged from abnormally dry to exceptional drought all year, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
In fall, warm dry days with cool nights usually lead to great fall leaf coloration, but dry late summer and fall conditions have a downside, too. Extremely dry conditions result in root death, and a corresponding death of branches and foliage. But perhaps more important, even moderately water-stressed plants are more susceptible to attack by secondary pests, such as insects or disease pathogens.
Mulch 101
By John C. Fech, UNL Extension Horticulture Educator, and ISA Certified Arborist
For many gardeners, applying mulch is standard procedure... like brushing your teeth. But before you jump the gun and mulch away,. it's important to survey your landscape needs. Instead of merely tossing bark nuggets to and fro, ask yourself the question, "Why do I want to mulch this flower garden, this strawberry patch, this veggie garden?" Think about moisture retention, weed suppression, cooling or warming the soil, and of course, its appearance.

jzkc: Thank you so much! I can't tell you how good it feels to know that it's like that for other spouses of SA. I got so tired of being groped while I was cooking dinner, groped while I was brushing my teeth, grinded on while I was washing dishes...and all the time I felt guilty that it was annoying rather than flattering! I remember once finally admitting to him that I felt like he viewed me as a piece of meat rather than his wife when we were 'intimate,' and he was really upset. Well, no wonder!
PS: If my quote didn't come out right, it's because I haven't figured out how to "quote" another member yet.
I'm not at all being successful with the 180. WS, although he has moved out, still comes over to sleep sometimes. And he wants to sleep in the same bed, with an arm wrapped around me, etc.
He also brought me flowers on Monday. On Tuesday, he sent me a message on FB and called me a pet name. But I have his FB password, so I logged on later and saw that ten seconds after he finished his FB conversation with me, he sent a message to an ex-employee of his, a pretty young girl, calling her "beautiful" and offering to take her to a party on Saturday night and that he would bring the beer.
When he came to the house yesterday, I confronted him about it and asked if they were lovers. He denied it (of course) and I told him that even though we're not living together, he should at least stop screwing around and going to these drunken parties while he's still my husband and still sleeping in my house, in my bed! I felt it was really disrespectful that he wouldn't bother to keep his pants zipped up at least until we had some kind of legal closure going on, or at least until he was "completely" moved out.
At first he tried self-justifying, but in the end he admitted that it was wrong and hurtful (probably because I was crying) and that he wouldn't go to the party. Whatever. He apologized but still asked if he could sleep in our house instead of his own.
Let me add: he's been working on the house since he decided to move out, trying to make it a safe and comfortable place for me to stay. He keeps saying he's trying to make this transition easier on me. This week he's finishing up with that by painting the house. That is the last thing he was going to do as far as improvements to the house go.
The thing is, I am thisclose to becoming a citizen of the country in which we live by virtue of our marriage. Once that citizenship comes through, I can legally own our house. He has agreed to allow only my name to be on the title. I really, really want this. I worked hard to pay for this house (yes, it's paid for! no payments, no rent!) and spent a lot of time and $$$ going through the immigration process, and I don't want to lose everything I've invested.
So...as much as I'd like to tell him 'give me your house key, you are not welcome here,' I don't feel that I'm in a position to do it yet. At least until he's signed the citizenship petition (hopefully that can be done next week, just waiting for a document to arrive at the immigration office), I don't know exactly how to behave.
Maybe I can set some boundaries without risking my citizenship and home ownership? I'm thinking probably boundary #1 is no more sleeping in the same bed. At all.
No one here can give you legal advice, and the stake are extremely high for you. You need to be talking to experts - attorneys - about all of this.
As for boundaries, you know yourself that this man should not be sleeping anywhere near your bed. If I was you, I would get an immigration attorney and a lock on the bedroom door. You are allowed to put up a lock. He can take it down, but at least you're making a statement by putting it up. Even if you are not a US citizen yet, it does not mean that he should be climbing into your bed after everything he's done - and continues to do.
I hope the papers come through soon.
Thanks for the advice. Let me clarify that I am a US citizen; however, I am not living in the US but in his country of origin. I am about to become a dual citizen of that country as well as the US, where I was born.
In this country, it is not so common to have an immigration attorney. The immigration process is relatively straightforward. I have seen a divorce lawyer who recommended that we not initiate any kind of separation or divorce proceedings until the ink has dried on the citizenship papers.
There was not a mortgage on our house. Again, this is not the US. We bought it from another person and paid them over a period of eight months. I have no proof that I contributed, but he has no proof that the money came from him, either. What we have are receipts showing that the payments were made. We never paid for the title, as that is very expensive. This is why there is an opportunity to obtain the title and to choose at that time whose name to put on it. WS does not have the $$$ to pay for the title; I have been the main breadwinner since we came here. The title cannot have my name on it, however, until I become a citizen at which point I gain the right to own property here.
However, it would probably be a good idea to sit down with my WS and ask him if he is willing to sign something that says that the house will be put in my name. I don't know how binding it would be legally, but it may help. Perhaps I could consult a real estate attorney here about that.
You've given me some ideas, anyway. And I need to figure out a way to get him to detach without getting angry and retracting the agreement we reached. As I said, so far he is bending over backward to make the separation easier on me except for his cake-eating. THAT I could do without.
Your husband has shown you who he REALLY IS recently. Please remember that as you go forward. He is probably feeling guilty right now, and he's undoubtedly in denial that you will really leave him. This is par for the course in SA.
But this will change. It changes in every single SA divorce. Once he knows you're serious, he will probably not be the same accommodating guy that he appears to be right now. Please expect the worst and protect yourself.
jzkc: Thank you so much! I can't tell you how good it feels to know that it's like that for other spouses of SA. I got so tired of being groped while I was cooking dinner, groped while I was brushing my teeth, grinded on while I was washing dishes...and all the time I felt guilty that it was annoying rather than flattering! I remember once finally admitting to him that I felt like he viewed me as a piece of meat rather than his wife when we were 'intimate,' and he was really upset. Well, no wonder!
YES! ALWAYS he'd be coming up behind me, groping, can never just touch without it turning into more, always showing me he gets hard. I was just thinking the other day, I have always felt objectified by him. He says I don't dress "slutty" enough, wants me to wear very tight things even when I tell him I'm uncomfortable, and I like the way I dress. It would get to the point I'd cave and wear whatever tight-fitting revealing dress he'd want, then when guys would hit on me at a bar he'd erupt, start a fight and we'd get kicked out.
I also want to say, because I was pulling away emotionally, I almost was feeling violated during sex. He'd want to finger me and I'd object and he'd just push my legs open and say "I can touch my wife if I want". Yea thaaaaats how to make me feel loved and secure.
I find WS's attitude really puzzling. I'm not leaving him; it's vice-versa. At the same time, everything he's been doing has only served to prove the point that even if he changes his mind about a divorce, I am divorcing him. We are not going to reconcile. Period.
I find it amazing that he can message me on FB and call me pet names and bring me flowers and then turn around and message a young girl and tell her he'll pick her up on Friday night to take her to the party. Like, what the ????? He changed his FB password so he thinks I can't read his messages, but I figured out what his new password was in about two seconds! So I know what he's doing anyway.
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, for things to turn nasty. I know that it may well happen, which is why I am anxious for him to leave...but sign that citizenship petition first! Then he can stay as far away as he likes!

That's how they are. Incredible. Its the same way my WH on our HONEYMOON could book me a massage so he could call esocrts there, and "forget his phone in the hotel" so he could leave me on the beach and hit a strib club for an hour....only to return and be sweet as pie to me.
I am sad often. I don't even have NEW activities to be sad about, but I'm sad. YOU all are so inspirational and strong.
I'm not sure that I can go forward even though he's not acted out or had a slip. DD 4 mnths ago.
I'm not even sure if he's SA, or a selfish asshole narcissist. Either way, I'm not sure I'm up for continuing. 6 years of having sex with strange men, putting his penis in dangerous locations then putting it in me....not sure I can EVER forgive that, no matter how much he "changes".
Do they ever really change?
Just wanted to pop in and say I am thinking of you.
My H has been given the choice of D or go to group therapy; he didn't go to group this week (2nd week in a row) bc he "needs another week to read and mentally prepare myself."
So that's my update. Court date still set for Jan. Oh, and he hacked into my email.... Not sure why or what his motive was.
PollyA, so sorry for what you are going through. It sounds like you are in processing mode. You are feeling the feelings, rather than avoiding them. It is a necessary process. Hugs to you during this difficult time. As for your question, I think some can change; you have to watch actions. But, even if they do truly change, any of it can be a deal breaker for you and that is ok. It's completely up to you to decide what you want.
jzkc - I am so sorry for your H's actions. You were feeling violated by him bc he DID violate you! His behavior is NOT ok.
(((((((SA spouses)))))))
The bolded ones are the calls/texts right before and after honeymoon...honeymoon was May18-25.
So with all this activity with the obvious "favorite", while in Honolulu on the honeymoon he chose to contact LOCAL escorts. It was 2 numbers, but they were both local to Honolulu. This just solidified for me that he was trying to meet them/did meet them. IF his story were true that he only called/texted them to chat or make him feel desired and sexy, then why not just continue with this number for example? The time difference in time zones was only 6 hours so its not like he NEEDED a local number ya know? I'm so sick with anger and disgust. How could he do this to me on our honeymoon? What a pig.

Are you working with a therapist to detach from him and this situation? I did the same thing as you for a while, collecting all this information and obsessing over it like you.
Detaching would be so good for you.
Any therapist would tell you that you have enough information. You know what he has done - and who he really is. These phone lists show you very clearly.

I have had an individual session with our MC, but over the last few months have detached emotionally from him. There;s no amount of "I'm sorry" that can make this go away.
I said that he could only move back in if he was making major changes. He implied that he *would* if he moved back in. I replied that he could move back in once I SAW that he was taking those steps.
He hung his head sadly, said that he knew I didn't want him back, and left.
I know it sounds pathetic. But for at least the next hour I had a strong urge to drive over to his place to talk about it some more.
Only I'm afraid that if I did, I'd see him there with some whore. Because that's the nature of the beast, isn't it?
I wish he wouldn't confuse me so much. He must know that I want more than ANYTHING to have my happy marriage back. But how can I want him to move back in when he has not done a single thing to change or address his tremendous issues?
A small side note: it was a relief that he didn't insist that I have no right to keep him from living in the house. Technically, I don't. But instead of forcing the issue, he simply left.
Sex addicts CAN change. But it really takes years. Even though my husband has been "sober" for 101 weeks, he is still a mess of a person, dealing with FOO issues that directly affect our relationship in a negative way. Not that all of us don't have issues that we have to work on, but add that to addiction and the damage they do is magnified. I've said it before and I'll say it again; if I knew then what I know now, I would NOT have stayed married, meshed my finances and NOT have had kids with him. I and they are damaged in ways we will never recover from.
Hang in there. Pamper yourself and pat yourself on the back for your strong stand in the face of the devil!

And our finances aren't really meshed, either. Just the house.

Senior Community for the Deaf
Senior Community for the Deaf
Chestnut Lane
Gresham, OR 97030
This is the promise that the staff at Chestnut Lane - and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities - has shared since first opening its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful - a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our residents who have chosen our Gresham, Oregon senior community for the deaf for its active lifestyle.
The Perfect Location
From our fourth-floor dining room, the 11,237-foot Mt. Hood provides a spectacular backdrop for Chestnut Lane, one of only three communities in the United States that caters to the needs of the deaf and deaf/blind. Located in Gresham, our community is within walking distance of the MAX light rail system. MAX travels throughout the greater Portland area, offering a wonderful convenience for our families, many of whom travel here from points all across the United States. With the MAX rail so close by, our families can fly into Portland airport and be at the back door of Chestnut Lane within 25 minutes. And while they are visiting their loved ones, MAX gives them the freedom to easily explore all that the Portland metropolitan area has to offer – all without the expense of having to rent a car.
A Wonderful Place to Live
Chestnut Lane is a special place where the deaf community comes first. When our community was built in 2005, it was specifically designed to enhance and enrich the lives of deaf/deaf blind seniors. Our spacious, open areas provides the visibility residents need to sign to each other from across the room. Our hallways are very wide and offer alcoves that allow for privacy between residents when they are engaged in sign language conversations. Each member of our staff is committed to communicating with residents in sign language – some are deaf themselves. In addition, our community is group oriented – we are one big family that embraces people of all ages and a variety of disabilities, including younger people with cerebral palsy and developmental issues. Yet no disability stops our residents from enjoying life to its fullest. From casino visits and wine tours, to exploring Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, to holiday parties, picnics, weekly bowling and shopping, our residents are always on the go!
Our four-story community offers 70 apartments, including studios and one-bedroom units. Each of our open, spacious apartments provides a wheelchair accessible bathroom, kitchenette, walk-in closet and lots of windows. Apartments on the south side of the building have views of our quiet residential tree-lined street, while those on the north side look out at the MAX train. Residents can either have a video phone in their apartments or we offer a community videophone for their convenience. They can also bring in their own furniture and decorate their apartments any way they wish. After all, it's their home, not ours! Everyone is on a month-to-month rent; there are no buy-in fees or leases.
Strong, Caring Professional Relationships
Chestnut Lane has a close relationship with local hospitals and doctors who know and understand the needs of our Deaf residents. We provide local medical providers informational presentations on working with Deaf patients, sign language and the Deaf culture.
Our Staff
Chestnut Lane is proud to be one of Oregon's largest employers for Deaf employees in the state. Some of our Deaf employees commute over an hour each way just to work at Chestnut Lane. We are extremely selective in choosing who will make up our team; only those willingness to be with us for years to come are accepted into the Chestnut family.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Kevin Miller firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
WASHINGTON – A Maine representative to the Republican National Committee is accusing national party leaders of running a smear campaign to oust him from the committee, even as he wages his own longshot bid to become the national party's next chairman.
Mark Willis
Staff File Photo
Five months ago, Mark Willis lost his delegate seat at the Republican National Convention in Tampa because of his outspoken support for presidential candidate Ron Paul.
Now, other Republican National Committee members question whether Willis is eligible to represent Maine on the committee -- let alone run for RNC chairman -- because he was listed as Paul's running mate on Maine's official list of declared write-in candidates last November.
Failure to support the party's presidential nominee is grounds for removal from the committee under RNC rules.
But Willis said he had no hand in his name appearing as a write-in candidate for vice president -- a claim confirmed by the man who filed the original paperwork -- and Willis insisted he supported Republican nominee Mitt Romney after the convention.
Willis believes it's no coincidence that the questions were raised a week before he hopes to challenge Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus for the party's top position. Willis said he knows of two RNC members Priebus contacted about the issue.
"I think their tactics are desperate and are a cry for help," Willis said Friday. "And it only validates my campaign."
A representative for Priebus had not returned requests for comment Friday evening.
Willis has yet to secure the endorsement of a third state -- Maine and Nevada have already endorsed him -- that would allow him to challenge Priebus. But this isn't his first run-in with national party leaders.
After a behind-the-scenes battle that spilled onto the convention floor last summer, Willis and nine other Maine delegates who supported Paul were denied seats and became the public face of the frustrated libertarian Republicans in Tampa.
Willis is still obviously bitter about that treatment.
His campaign for chairman criticizes Priebus for Republican losses in November and accuses him of surrounding himself with high-paid consultants and political insiders while weakening the voices of grassroots activists.
It appears that others in the party haven't forgotten Willis either, however.
California Republican national committeeman Shawn Steel reportedly sent an email to other RNC members this week questioning whether Willis broke the rules when his name appeared alongside Paul's as a write-in candidate in Maine, according to the news site The Daily Caller.
"I understand the ambition of a new member wanting to run for a high RNC office," Steel wrote, according to The Daily Caller report. "Moreover, debate is always valuable for the membership. But given the strange Maine ballot experience, Mark may want to find another time to consider a run for the party's top position after he has more experience in national politics."
Steel did not return a message left for him at his California law office on Friday.
Under RNC rules, the committee can "declare vacant" the seat of any member who refuses to support the Republican presidential or vice presidential nominee. An RNC official said Friday that for Willis to be challenged, an RNC member would have to make a motion during next week's meeting.
Patrick Eisenhart, an Augusta resident and longtime Paul supporter, said he filed the paperwork to list Paul and Willis as write-in candidates "to give voters more options."
Eisenhart, who serves on the executive committee of the Kennebec County Republicans, said in an interview that he never consulted Willis beforehand.
"It's just a shame that it is even an issue," said Eisenhart, who believes the entire affair is more fallout from the events in Tampa. "All I can think is that it is pathetic."

This project originated as a study tour focused on the natural environment, cultures and traditions of the local communities in various Hill Tribe villages in the northern part of Thailand. The study tour was considered an eye-opening experience as it provided opportunities for its participants to learn about crucial aspects of existing problems that have been widespread among many Hill Tribe villages in northern Thailand. For various reasons in northern Thailand, there is a struggle to have enough land for all the people's needs, for forest protection, and for security; this has brought the Hill Tribes quickly into contact with modern life and has forever changed their situation whilst making some of their traditional practices impossible to continue.
There are now between 25-26 children living at the Mae Kok Foundation ranging from 4-18 years old.
The current Volunteer Project and activities are part of a joint effort between ISV Foundation Thailand and the Mae Kok Foundation. The ultimate goal is to improve the life of underprivileged Hill Tribe children by providing housing, food, education and other vocational training activities. These training activities include improving agricultural knowledge and working skills in the areas of vegetable gardening, welding, building and embroidery, as a way to provide the children with better opportunities for their future dependence.

Agir avec nous Élaboration de politiques Proposition de politiques Staff Assessment - Anycast Assignments in the AFRINIC region
Staff Assessment - Anycast Assignments in the AFRINIC region
There are no translations available.
Analysis and assessment of proposal AFPUB-2012-V4-001-DRAFT-01 (Anycast Assignments in the AFRINIC region) || Date of Assessment: 10-02-2013
How the staff understands the proposal
The proposal allows the issuance of IPv4 space (/24 minimum) explicitly for anycast services.
Staff Comments
- Previous requests for anycast services have been denied, since the requested /24 (or other size) must meet the immediate 50% utilization requirement in the End User policy. Most anycast services need a few IP addresses immediately, not the entire /24, hence would be denied under current policy. This proposal guides AFRINIC appropriately when handling and evaluating these types of requests.
- The proposal would be implemented with minimal impact on internal AFRINIC resources.
Legal Aspects
At the moment we do not foresee any legal aspects and if they are envisaged in due course, our legal counsel will advise.
Le système hiérarchique des nom des domaines permet des noms de domaine à être associé à des adresses IP et la résolution inverse exécute la fonction contraire.

I knew that it was difficult on my H, but never knew to what extent, I guess
Part of my Wh's issues was that he suspected she had been physically unfaithful but could never confirm. She would only admit to an EA. Scary the similarities.
Unfortunately, July 4th will never be the same again for me. I posted this before so you may have seen it but the night of the 4th our family sat and watched the fireworks together and I remember at one point looking over at my WH and thinking, "man I am lucky it does not get better than this". 24 hours later he was in f----ing some whore 12 years younger than me that he knew for 20 minutes. :( Its a bitter pill to swallow and that 4th memory is just etched into my brain as a complete sham.
I can understand you feeling the need to blame your SS but I think you know that regardless of who did what , in no way does it justify what your WH did. No one "caused" him to break his vows. Not you ,the OW, or his son. He had choices he could of made instead of what he did and chose not to. While no doubt what happened w/his S contributed as well as OW's "availabily", in the end the choice was his.
two2, I read your profile and I am so sorry, trickle truth sucks.....I have seen so many posts on the other threads that its so devastating. My heart goes out to you.
jana, sorry its been tough. So overwhelming when you have the brunt to bear!
tsol, i am not familiar with lala so I was a bit confused on your post. It looks like its a social network like fb and you found your WBF has a profile up (has had one for awhile) and only recently changed his status to attached? These interactions you found, how long ago were they? It appears that he is minimizing his interactions online too? Am I right on all this?
He only changed his status on Friday because I confronted him about it (a second time although the first time was an off the tongue passing by remark).
The chat was Thursday night. Yes he has been minimizing his interactions online which is one of my reasons for concern.
Thanks hurting, we'll be ok, this is just the hard part. He's finally going to get some money coming in soon, which will help us immensely. He's been booking trips left and right, but they don't actually PAY until a few days before the trip, so we haven't seen much actual money yet. Thank God because our bank account is starting to scream in pain!
Unfortunately, July 4th will never be the same again for me. I posted this before so you may have seen it but the night of the 4th our family sat and watched the fireworks together and I remember at one point looking over at my WH and thinking, "man I am lucky it does not get better than this". 24 hours later he was in f----ing some whore 12 years younger than me that he knew for 20 minutes. :( Its a bitter pill to swallow and that 4th memory is just etched into my brain as a complete sham.
What a gut punch - I'm so sorry.
I have bad feelings about the 4th too due to a stupid family conflict that took place in 2009 and I remember thinking just about exactly the same thing the night before it happened. Bitter is right! ((hurting))
sorry you are here, it sucks the whole thing. The information out here on SI suggests it takes anywhere from 2-5 years to recover. This number varies greatly depending on a couple of factors 1. WS level of remorse and willingness to do what is needed for the BS 2. how much TT or trickle truth there is (everytime there is new information given, the clock is reset so he needs to understand that) 3. if there are continueing A or incidents. So the way I look at it is in the best of circumstances , one is looking at 2 years before they are considered "healed" whatever that looks like.
A betrayal is a a betrayal whether it happened one time or 100 times so dont let anyone (your WS or your MC or anyone else on SI) make you feel like your pain is somehow "less". Vows have been broken, trust has been violated and we go through the same pain, emotions and feelings as everyone else. Just like you cant be a "little bit pregnant" you cant be "a little bit betrayed".
Its a long road and your WH HAS to understand that if he truely wants R. As i said before in another post, he has had two years to process this information plus he has the "complete" story. He has all the details and timelines and it is possible you do not yet. You have had 3 months! That is nothing in the process.
You would benefit greatly from tsol's post with the links if you have not already checked them out. I still stand by my statement that her first link was the BEST thing I ever gave my WH to help him understand what to expect.
I hope your MC is a good one and is working with him to help him realize that he can not simply rug sweep this. You didnt mention how you found out? If he confessed, is there a reason he waited until now? OR did you find something that clued you in?
TSOL- I ageee with Jana that is NOT good. I am SO sorry . I went back and reread what you wrote now that I understand it,lol. I think your list is good one although I would question if he really needs to even be on that particular site? that is up to you. What if he does not comply? What is the consequence?
jana -thanks it is a gut punch, one of many in my situation (we all have them I know :( ) It breaks my heart. It really does.
Money coming is is a really good thing! Hope it works out for you guys!
Well, I start back to work tommorrow and we are going to get nailed with this winter storm hitting the midwest. We are expecting 12-18 inches in one storm! That will break a 110 year old record here. This will fall on top of sleet and ice. Fun! I have a feeling that we will all be snowed in on wednesday so I will get in one day of work before i am forced back home LOL. Tough life huh!
Any one else getting hit with this storm? Think of me in IL when you see the news! Night everyone

I can understand you feeling the need to blame your SS but I think you know that regardless of who did what , in no way does it justify what your WH did. No one "caused" him to break his vows. Not you ,the OW, or his son. He had choices he could of made instead of what he did and chose not to. While no doubt what happened w/his S contributed as well as OW's "availabily", in the end the choice was his.
I know this is true. And to be honest, given my Hs state of mind after his son left that summer, I think it was bound to happen. I hate to say that, but I think I have to accept it. My H was feeling unworthy. He didnt feel good enough for me, for our family, or his son. And because he was dealing with this by watching porn, he wasnt getting the help he needed. So low and behold, OW walks in and is ready to do the deed. I only wish it would have been anyone else that walked into his office on that day. Maybe someone that wouldnt have been so willing. I hope that one day, when I am able to forgive my H, I can also forgive his son for hurting his father so badly!
Things lately have been going well. Im trying to deal with my own issues; which hopefully will help me deal with this. In IC yesterday, my counselor asked me when I was going to stop punishing my H. I felt SO horrible when she said that; because Ive never really looked at it like that. Yet, I guess that is what Im doing. In the process, Im also punishing myself. I have a man in front of me who loves me and would do anything for me - but I cant budge. At least thats what I keep telling myself. I guess I need to stop thinking in terms of CANT.
On another note hows the weather? Its sunny and 75 where I am!!!
Wanttobeloved - how far out are you from discovering all of this?
I, too, see a different side of my husband; and it hurts like hell. I never thought he was capable of something like this. NEVER. I also struggle with wondering if we are going to make it. I have good days and bad days. The last few days have been good, but my husband is doing everything that I need him to. He answers every question that I have for him; despite the fact that he is ashamed of what he has done. He understands that he needs to do that to help me heal. So I THINK Ive finally gotten to a place where I dont have any more questions (but that may change tomorrow!).
As far as what is he supposed to do he should do everything that he has to do to make you feel comfortable. He should do everything that he has to do to help you heal. He should do everything that he has to do to help rebuild your trust in him. Those things are different for everyone; so its up to you to decide what you need/want from him and then tell him. At that point, the work is up to HIM.
Like hurting said, check out some of the articles that tsol posted (I think theyre on one of her posts on the 18th page of this thread). And possibly show those articles to your WS. Id love to help you more, but Im still fairly new to all this. Hopefully everyone else will come along and give better advice and kind words.
Keep your head up and just know that it DOES get better.
I am so sorry you are in pain. I dont think you a fool for wanting to try and save your marriage. Is his behavior normal, from what I have seen yes, but not in a good way.....
What do I mean.....Honey, I am really concerned about what I have been reading. There are some Major red flags in your WH's behavior that suggest one of the following...1. he is currently in the fog and blameshifting(see healing library) 2. he is still up to no good 3. he has not told you the real truth of what he has done in the past. My gut is its 2 or 3 by the things he has been saying to you.
He wont tell you details, and gets mad when you bring it up? He gave you an STD and he does not understand why you should be upset???
I am speechless, really. I am so sorry he is being such a jerk to you. You do not deserve to be treated like this. When did he disclose this to you?
He siad that I am making more of it than it really is and there is no need for me to worry about her because they never saw each other again. He does not remember her name or appearance and says that he will not discuss the details because it makes him uncomfortable. Everyone tells me it is up to me to make us work but what is he supposed to do,
WTF????????????? Where do i start here? Yikes!! the details make him uncomfortable? Well tough S---! A violation of your trust and your wedding vows have made you "uncomfortable" so he needs to start talking. If you want details, you SHOULD have them. If he is not willing to give them, he is not willing to R. He should not be the one laying down the terms to R. I would be 180ing his butt immediately (again the healing library!) You need to get him out of the fog if you want R
I dont want to be the pessimist here but I really think something is rotten in Denmark! I would be asking for complete transparency as well. email password,facebook, access to his phone texts and calls. If he is refusing he is hiding something plain and simple .
What the heck is the MC doing? Your WH is not accepting responsiblity for his actions and he/she is not putting his feet to the fire on this? Simply admitting it is NOT being accountable. He made the mess and expects you to clean it up without help from him. Unacceptable.
The 180 will help you start focusing on your needs . I would also recommend you start thinking about what you will and wont accept here in R. I can tell you one thing your WH is not truely in R right now.
I am really sorry about that.
San Diego too, well I going go out on a limb and guess your WH is a marine then too. Small world.
given my Hs state of mind after his son left that summer, I think it was bound to happen
Again ditto, very creepy. It is exactly how I see it with my WH.
my counselor asked me when I was going to stop punishing my H.
When you are ready to forgive him. It will come in time and with increased trust. Glad things are good for you right now.
hurting just said everything I was going to tell you.
Everything you are feeling is normal. Especially the ups and downs, they will start to level out but they will last a while.
He explained it me as a young girl came on to him and it just happened
He needs to give you details (the ones you want) and answer your questions, otherwise I would think it would be impossible to get through this. I agree with hurting in wondering what your MC is doing? You might want to try another one because he needs a kick to the butt. And in the mean time also as hurting said, the 180.
You're not a fool for staying, but at the same time, no decision is set in stone. You can change your mind at any point you feel necessary. I assume you are staying with the condition that he starts to focus on helping you. That's not crazy at all. But you do also need to know how much you are willing to put up with.
I'm supposed to be getting a similar-ly horrible snow storm, right now. I wish I could have a snow day
I have a man in front of me who loves me and would do anything for me - but I cant budge. At least thats what I keep telling myself. I guess I need to stop thinking in terms of CANT
Wow I just got hit with tired. Me and wbf discussed the online issue and had a really good talk. I think we are half a step away from mc and he said he would visit si. And not like previously where he said it to make me happy, he was asking questions. I would say we are roller coaster "upping" again.
((wanttobeloved)) - oh honey, I just hurt for you. I can feel the pain pouring out of you. Your WH is not doing right by you.
Your pain is heartbreaking. I am so sorry. I agree with tsol about MC. Are these things being brought up in MC? What you just wrote about spending more time together and his response is something you guys should be sorting out in addition to the details of the actual ONS.
If you are not already I would also recommend IC. IT was EXTREMELY helpful for me and I think you would benefit from a good IC. PLEASE PLEASE look at the 180 information in the healing library, I really think it will benefit your situation.
What about transparency? Have you asked for his info to check on him? Are there other behaviors/signs that you are seeing that suggest there is something else going on? The fact that he is so nonchalant about what he did to you and the resulting STD tells me he is majorily in the FOG about what he has done (or is still doing).
I will be brutally honest, if it were me, I would start the 180, get myself a good IC to start working on myself, and consult a D lawyer. It does not mean you would have to file, but I think you need to know your rights as it might come in handy if things continue down this road . I hope that was not too harsh, I just want you to be protected.
YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME FOR ANY OF THIS!!!!! You dont deserve to be treated like this.
Keep posting and venting. I would also suggest posting in R if you are not already as there are many folks wiser than us (and more of them too) that may have better advice for you.
sending hugs and strength your way
What do I do about these feelings and red flags, am I going to spend the rest of the time doubting everything he says to me. When I think about how easy it is for me to lie to me and look into his eyes all I feel is hurt.
He even defends his defensive behavior with comments like he is tired of being accused of things he is not doing and he does not feel like he should have to answer for every move he makes. I quess I have to accept that we are going to meet the end of our relationship before I feel better and he is ok with that.
Post more - when you get to 50 posts, you can then view the Investigative Tips forum. If your gut is screaming at you, it might be worth it to do a little detective work and see if there is something else going on.
((HUGS)) I am so sorry you're hurting.
In the morning before he leaves, try to make a list of things you want to try to do during the day. If your mind starts to wander try to find that list and choose something you're up for.
Also check your PMs
I agree about the red flags and him being defensive about everything but I do not know what to do.
I know its sometimes so hard to see the forest for the trees when you are in the middle of all this. I am so glad you are finding support here.
To reitterate, this is what I would suggest....
I would start the 180, get myself a good IC to start working on myself, and consult a lawyer. It does not mean you would have to proceed in seperation, but I think you need to know your rights as it might come in handy if things continue down this road . I just want you to be protected. ( i saw afterwards that you two are not married but it looks like you own a house possibly together, though). I would also be demanding the transparency I mentioned before.
I am no expert by any means, all I can tell you is what I have experienced myself and what I have seen through others here on SI. One person alone can not R. He is NOT helping you feel safe nor is he helping you to rebuild your trust.
My WH wanted R and when I was ready to try R, I sat down and wrote out specifically what I needed from him in order to R. It helped me decide what was essential and where my lines in the sand were. If he could not give me these things, then I knew I had to walk away.
I was petrified when I wrote it. There was so much damage and so much that needed to be repaired. Its frightening and overwhelming. I didnt know if he would agree or if he would agree and then just blow it off. In the end, the way I looked at it I was not going to waste my time "hoping" he would do what he needs to and get it right.
If he refused to do what was on my list or said he would and willfully violated the list, then I had my answer about if he truely was ready for R. I would rather know that sit in limbo but that is just me.
If you decide to give him the list of what you need, you must also make sure he understands what the consequences will be if he can't/won't abide by the list and BE PREPARED TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THEM. I cant emphasize that enough.
Sometimes when you have an exit strategy, it can be very enpowering for you and can be a good wake up call for the WS to see that you are capable and will go on without them (even if you dont feel like you can, try your best to fake it).
Finally, I would suggest confiding in a trusted friend, it sounds like you are very alone in your situation and it may be helpful to find someone you can truely confide in that is a positive force in your life and that you feel will support whatever decision you make and not judge you for it. I am a believer that you can not go through this alone. Not everyone agrees on this point, but its just my opinion.

Is Blake Griffin a flopper?
Earlier this week while on "The Wheelhouse" on 95.7 The Game radio in San Francisco, Warriors guard Klay Thompson called out Clippers forward Blake Griffin: "He's kind of like a bull in a china shop, kind of out of control sometimes. And then you do just see him flop sometimes like, how can a guy that big and strong flop that much?" Is Blake Griffin a flopper? Do you have a problem with Thompson's comments?

Sequoia provides high availability and performance scalability for databases. It is is the continuation of the C-JDBC project. It provides transparent database clustering (partitioning, replication, etc.). It works with any Java application without code modification and with any database engine. It has been successfully tested with Tomcat, JBoss, JOnAS, WebSphere, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Apache Derby, HSQLDB, SAP DB, Oracle, DB2, Sybase, MS SQL Server, Firebird, and more.
XMLProperties is a utility class which stores and retrieves property lists (key-value/s pairs) from an XML document. It is in a way similar to the java.util.Properties file but with one main difference: it can store more than one property value for a given property key. Each property key corresponds to an XMLPropertyValues object which may contain one or more property values.
jPDFWriter is a Java class library to create PDF documents directly from Java programs without having to install any third party drivers or software. It emulates the standard Java classes to print and draw graphics to reduce the learning curve when using the library and reuse existing code. It can create PDF files in two ways: PDF files can be created directly using jPDFWriter's very simple API (simply create a PDFDocument object, create as many PDFPage objects as necessary, draw strings, graphics, or any other elements supported by Graphics2D to the pages, and save the document), or jPDFWriter can extend the standard Java PrinterJob to create PDF files as though printing to a physical printer. This allows reuse of existing printing code and lets an application decide, at runtime, whether to send the output to a printer or to a PDF file. PDF files can be saved to files on a disk, written to a java.io.OutputStream, or written directly to a javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream to show in a browser when working within a J2EE application server. jPDFWriter is written entirely in Java, so application portability and operating system independence are not compromised.
3D Vertical Bar Graph provides both client and server-side solutions for the incorporation of bar graphs into Web pages. It provides versatile components so that Web authors and Java developers can easily build and publish dynamic and interactive bar graphs. There are many configurable features and functions to both the applet and servlet and as such, the documentation and examples are designed to give both a full understanding of every feature and enable you to implement both the applet and servlet quickly and easily. The series of examples gives an overview of the variety of implementations possible.

Garys Corner of Tosa
Since moving to the 4th district in 1998 my wife and I have witnessed many big changes in our neighborhood. More big changes loom over us and I will be writing about them here.
Has Grede Liberty Foundry confessed they stink? Or is the Odor cover up chemicals a punishment for complaining?
Has Grede Liberty Foundry at 6432 W. State Street confessed to being a stinker? If not why are they spraying a chemical product into the air to hide its pollution odors? Spray jets ring the rim of a emissions stack spraying it high into the air. You and I know emission stacks as smoke stacks. During the warmer weather the pollution that comes from this stack is invisible as fumes, gases, and maybe we can call them mists. In the winter you can see the huge volumes of vapor coming from this stack under pressure.
Why are they spraying again? Why now? Who's behind it? The EPA or WDNR? Did my complaints to US Senator Kohl and Congressman Sensenbrenner lead to this unwanted frivolous attempt to deal with the foundries pollution problem? Is it a punishment? Who are they punishing?

In the mobile game development world, developer studios are discovering that the Tegra chipset offers a huge array of visual features that cannot be found on other mobile platforms. When developers create games designed to take advantage of Tegra features, they want to use every tool at their disposal to tune the performance of their game. PerfHUD ES is one type of tool that lets developers get the most out of their Tegra-based hardware.

Richmond >Bus Travel > San Francisco Comprehensive Shuttle Tours
1 Ferry Building, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411137.948394 -122.341822
Neighborhoods: North & East
A Good Trip...... – My brother and I decided to take the full-day Napa Valley Winery Tour (the 4 Winery tour with SF Bay Ferry ride) back in October, 2011.
The shuttle bus operator was friendly enough, and the Wineries were beautiful. Wish we could have spent more time at them.
The only problem was that we missed the ferry ride on the way back. I think the ferry company changed the schedule, and we just missed it. However, the company did do the right thing and gave us a partial refund.
As I said, it's a nice tour (and reasonably priced) if you're looking for an all day guided trip.
If you value your safety then give this a miss the drive appeared to be a little tipsy and several times he hit the curb when he was pulling over. What a nightmare! he was grumpy and kept asking for tips and this made the whole experience rather distasteful.
Wonderful Introduction to San Francisco! – Loved getting off the shuttle and experiencing the sites. This tour hits all the major spots and gave us an idea of where we wanted to go back to attend. Our tour guide knew a lot about the history of San Fran which is very interesting. Everyone was friendly and tour was easy to find. Left on time and returned on time. Great tour. Highly recommend!
You Won't Find a Better Sightseeing Tour – I read all the reviews and then went on this tour and we really like it a lot. It was more than a highlights tours. When we went to dinner that evening our local friends were surprised by how much we saw and knew about San Francisco after the tour. I think we know more than some of our local friends. Friendly service and the bottle water was a great touch. Hats off to our guide and driver.
Great Great Tour! – Just a great tour that makes lots of tour stops and has a boat cruise during the tour. Stopping in Sausalito was a highlight. These guys are experts. We didn't go on their other tours but we wish we had.
Great Great Tour! – This was excellent. Way beyond what we had expected. Having the guide be dedicated to that task was excellent. Thank you for the many stops and opportunities to leave the shuttle for exploring and picture taking. The guide was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the areas that we visited. Highlights would be Palace of Fine Arts, Golden Gate Park, and Alamo Park. Thank you for having water available. That was perfect! We have told many people about this tour. We are looking forward to our next visit to San Francisco. Just an absolutely great san francisco tour.
Fabulous Shuttle Tour! – San Francisco Shuttle Tours was just an amazing experience. They made so many tour stops and they had this great ferry cruise - we could not say anymore. We think their driver and tour guide really helped make the day special. The knowledge and performance during the tour was memorable. I would compare this to a broadway show and I don't think that is going too far. Best San Francisco Tour!
Outstanding Tour! Outstanding Tour Company! – Outstanding! Lots of great tour stops. I think we made like 10 great stops with really amazing narrative from the Tour Guide. I was happy they had a different driver from the Tour Guide. This company is all around the best from the ordering process, tour launch, tour start and end. I think it's great they use a ferry as part of their tour too. I was surprised how much we enjoyed this tour!
They also have a Wine Country Tour, called the Wine Country Tour Shuttle that people raving about that we're going on next week. I will report about this too.
Overall a good tour for those not terribly familiar with the area – We were originally booked on the Muir Woods Combo Tour, but the day before they called to cancel and offered us the five hour City Tour that was basically the same thing without Muir Woods. I suspect they cancelled Muir Woods due to not enough participants. They were very pleasant and extremely professional, and the difference in price between the two tours was immediately refunded to my credit card.
We arrived a little early for the tour, only to find out that they have you arrive intentionally early--so we had over 45 minutes to pass from the time we got to the Ferry Terminal until we actually boarded the ferry from Saulsalito. We spent it fairly easily looking around the terminal and snapping photos.
The guide was very informative, although he didn't give much of any personal perspective, it was a very "canned" tour from start to finish--not saying that's a bad thing though.
I guess if there was one complaint it was that some of the stops were too short, and a few were too long. We'd rather spend less time at the Cathedral and more time at the Golden Gate Bridge. We were also under the impression that we'd be able to walk down Lombard Street, which was not the case. Generally speaking it was a good tour that gave a good overlook of the City and allowed us to get an idea of what we'd like to go back to and explore at a later time on our own.
We'd definitely reccomend this tour for a first time visitor that wanted a quick glimpse of it all before going back to spend more time at the points that really interested them. One thing to note, the tour does require a considerable amount of walking--some uphill, up stairs, and over uneven terrain. We would not suggest this tour for mobility impaired or unhealthy people. It's also not the best for families with younger kids who will get bored and become a distraction to others.
A very good comprehensive but quick tour – I did the comprehensive San Francisco tour and the Muir woods tour combo. The tour gives you a very good quick visit to all the major sites in San Fran. I started my trip with this tour so I could figure out where I wanted to spend more time for the rest of the trip. Loved that I didn't have to figure out how to get around on the streets or park! Would recommend this tour to other visitors who would like a one day tour to see most of the main sites. The Muir woods tour was also quick, wish I had more time in the park. But the views were absolutely worth it. Again, loved not having to drive the curving,steep roads with cliffs on one side. If I had to do it again, I would take these tours, but do it on separate days.

Athletes Surf Obama Wave
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
The news of Obama's election spread like wildfire throughout the world, including the professional sports realm. Many well known sports figures weren't afraid to share their joy for this momentous event, something Chris Paul did with his shoes. Fans weren't immune to the Obama wave either.
Suffice to say, even though these professional athletes make more money than Scrooge McDuck and face potentially increased taxes under Obama, that did not stop them from enjoying such a historical moment — everyone except maybe Jared Allen, who voiced concern over potentially higher taxes.
